North Yorkshire’s First Fixed Speed Camera 'Deliberately Damaged' on Day One
- North Yorkshire’s inaugural fixed speed camera, installed on the A64 close to Sherburn village near Malton, was intentionally vandalized at approximately 2:20 a.m. on July 1, 2025.
- The damage occurred just hours before the camera was set to begin a three-month trial enforcing the 30mph limit to improve road safety.
- Police launched an investigation describing the incident as vandalism that exposed an electricity cable, and they are working to make the site safe.
- Authorities called for witnesses or anyone with dashcam or doorbell footage, stating, "It is disappointing to see the camera targeted by vandals."
- The results of the trial will guide future speed enforcement strategies, and police plan to set up the camera again at a different nearby location.
